feat: live mesh peer gossip

When a peer's hello is verified, send a gossip burst of currently
connected peers so the new peer can discover and connect to nodes it
hasn't met yet — without relying on the anchor for a full peer-join
notification for each one.

- mesh: add PendingConnect chan for gossip-discovered peer IDs
- peer: send gossip burst after hello; push unknown peers from incoming
  gossip onto PendingConnect (skip self + already-connected)
- anchor: drain PendingConnect per runOnce, initiate startOffer for
  unknown peers using the same lexicographic tiebreak as anchor join;
  drain goroutine is scoped to the runOnce lifetime to avoid using stale
  sessions after a reconnect

-#### TUI (near-term)
-A terminal UI is worth building first, as a `cmd/tui` using [Bubble Tea](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea). Since the IPC contract is already the full boundary, a TUI is just another client — connect to `127.0.0.1:17337`, receive the `state_snapshot`, then funnel incoming events into Bubble Tea's update loop. Incoming mesh events map naturally onto its Elm-style message model.

-## Protocol Modernization
+## Protocol
 
-### NAT Traversal
-The main unsolved problem from the original WASTE — one party always needed an open port.
+### NAT Traversal ✅ (WebRTC ICE/STUN)
+Solved by using WebRTC DataChannels via pion. ICE gathers host + server-reflexive (STUN) candidates and performs UDP hole punching automatically. The anchor (`cmd/anchor`) doubles as a STUN server on UDP/3478.
 
-- Try UDP hole punching (STUN) first
-- Fall back to an encrypted relay (DERP-style) when hole punching fails
-- Relay sees only opaque encrypted blobs — end-to-end encryption holds
-- Run the relay on a Hetzner VPS; `waste-relay` already implements the blind-forward model
+The one remaining gap: symmetric-NAT pairs fail without TURN. An optional TURN relay (coturn in relay mode) can recover these. The protocol spec (§11) explicitly leaves this as an opt-in — no relay is the default.
 
-### Bootstrapping & Rendezvous
-No DHT needed at small group scale (10–50 nodes). Keep it simple:
+### Signaling ✅ YAW/2.1 (shipped)
+Forward-secret signaling via per-session ephemeral X25519 keys. See PROTOCOL.md §2.1 and `internal/anchor/client.go`. Falls back transparently to 2.0 static-key sealing for peers that don't speak 2.1.
 
-- Each peer generates an Ed25519 keypair on first run — the public key **is** their identity
-- Share a small signed invite file (`.waste-invite`) out of band: email, Signal, whatever
-- The invite contains: current IP:port hint + public key + short-lived signature
-- Once two peers connect, they gossip each other's addresses to mutual friends
-- A local known-peers list in the data directory is sufficient at this scale
+### Multi-Network Support ✅ (shipped)
+One daemon, multiple simultaneously-joined networks. Per-network HKDF-derived identities prevent cross-network correlation. Network-scoped SQLite stores, IPC commands carry `network_id`.
 
-### Identity
-- Persistent Ed25519 keypair, generated once
-- Public key = stable identity, not a mutable nickname
-- No phone number, no central registry — closer to Signal's model than WASTE's original unregistered aliases
+### Invite System ✅ (shipped)
+`waste:<base64>` URIs encoding anchor URL + network name. `--join` flag on daemon and TUI. Generated via IPC `generate_invite` or `Ctrl+I` in the TUI.
+
+### File Transfer ✅ (shipped)
+Dedicated binary DataChannel per transfer (`f:<xid>`). SHA-256 integrity verification. 64 KiB chunks with backpressure. Auto-accept. Downloads to `<data-dir>/downloads-<netid>/`.
+
+---
+
+## Remaining Work
 
 ### Per-Network Share Directories
+The `-share-dir` flag is still global. A peer on two networks shares the same directory with both. The fix: make share dir per-network, configurable via an IPC command `set_share_dir {network_id, path}` or a config file, so Alice can share work files on "work" and music on "friends" independently.
 
-The current `-share-dir` flag is a single global directory. Eventually, each network should have its own independent share set:
-- Alice shares `/home/alice/Downloads/work-files` on the "work" network
-- Alice shares `/home/alice/Music` on the "friends" network
-- Peers on "work" never see Alice's music, and vice versa
+### Peer Gossip (§8.4)
+The `peer_gossip` wire type exists in proto but is not implemented. When a peer knows about other peers (from prior connections), it could share address hints so the mesh can reconnect without the anchor. This makes the anchor optional once the initial handshake has happened — the network self-heals if the anchor goes down.
 
-When multi-network support lands (see below), the `ShareDir` field on `networkCtx` replaces the current global `Mesh.ShareDir`. The IPC `get_file_list` and daemon `-share-dir` flag should move to be per-network configuration — either via a config file or via an IPC command `set_share_dir` scoped to a `network_id`.
+### File Transfer UX
+- Manual accept/reject (currently auto-accept)
+- Transfer cancellation via `file-cancel`
+- Progress display in TUI
+- Resume after disconnection
 
-### Multi-Network Support
+### Native UI
+Web frontend (React) + Tauri/native packaging. The IPC protocol is already the full boundary — the UI is a pure consumer.
 
-A single client should be able to participate in multiple networks simultaneously (e.g. "work" and "friends") without leaking that both identities belong to the same person.
-
-**Privacy constraint:** if the same Ed25519 keypair is used across networks, any peer who is a member of both networks can trivially correlate you. The anchor also sees the same public key across networks.
-
-**Solution — per-network derived identities:**
-- One master Ed25519 seed in `identity.json`
-- Per-network keypair = `HKDF(masterSeed, "yaw2-net", networkHash)`
-- Same master + same network name = same derived keypair (stable identity within a network)
-- Different networks = different peer IDs; correlation is impossible without knowing both network names
-- The anchor sees only the derived public key
-
-**Daemon changes:**
-- Replace the single `networkCancel` with a `map[networkID]*networkCtx`
-- Each context holds its own: derived identity, mesh, anchor connection, store (`messages-<netHash>.db`)
-- `join_network` returns a `network_id` token used to scope subsequent commands
-
-**IPC changes (breaking):**
-- All commands and events gain a `network_id` field
-- `get_state` returns an array of all joined networks
-- `join_network` responds with `network_joined` carrying the derived peer ID for that network
-
-**TUI changes:**
-- Top-level network switcher (e.g. `[work] [friends]`)
-- Rooms and peers are scoped per network underneath
-
-### Transport (Long-term)
-Current transport is TCP with custom framing. QUIC is worth revisiting once the core is solid — it gives multiplexing and better NAT traversal behavior essentially for free.
+### TURN relay (optional)
+For symmetric-NAT pairs. Opt-in, off by default. Operates blind (relay sees only opaque DTLS-encrypted blobs). Run coturn in relay mode on the same VPS as the anchor.

+
+**Version:** `yaw/2.1` · **Status:** 📝 **DRAFT** (proposed) · motivated by
+[YIP-0001](proposals/yip-0001-forward-secret-signaling.md).
+
+> **2.1 = [2.0](yaw2.0-protocol.md) + forward-secret signaling.** This document is a
+> **delta**: everything in [yaw2.0-protocol.md](yaw2.0-protocol.md) still applies
+> *except* the sections replaced below (§3, §5.4, §6). Identity, signaling
+> transport (§5.1–§5.3), the application protocol (§8), and file transfer (§9) are
+> **unchanged**. 2.1 peers **interoperate with 2.0** by falling back (§6.1).
+
+## What changes vs 2.0
+
+The only change is the key material used to seal `offer`/`answer`/`candidate`
+signaling payloads: 2.0 uses **static** X25519 keys (from the long-term Ed25519
+identity); 2.1 uses **per-session ephemeral** X25519 keys, wiped after the session,
+introduced by a new signed **`ekey`** message. This makes the signaling
+forward-secret (see the YIP for the threat it closes). Nothing else changes.
+
+---
+
+## §3′ Cryptography (replaces 2.0 §3)
+
+Unchanged from 2.0 **except** the "Signaling confidentiality" row:
+
+| Purpose | Primitive |
+|---------|-----------|
+| Identity / signatures | **Ed25519** (unchanged) |
+| **Signaling — `ekey` exchange** | sealed with **static** X25519 (`crypto_box`, keys derived from Ed25519 as in 2.0). Carries only ephemeral *public* keys. |
+| **Signaling — offer/answer/candidate** | sealed with **ephemeral** X25519: `crypto_box(plaintext, nonce, peer_epk, my_esk)`, where `(esk, epk)` is a fresh per-session X25519 keypair. |
+| Transport | **WebRTC DTLS** (unchanged; already PFS) |
+| Hashes | SHA-256 (unchanged) |
+
+Each peer generates `(esk, epk) = crypto_box_keypair()` **per session** and
+**securely wipes `esk`** when the session ends or is abandoned. `epk` is exchanged
+and authenticated via the `ekey` message (§5.4′).
+
+All seal serialization (`base64_ORIGINAL(nonce(24)||mac(16)||ct)`) is exactly as in
+2.0 — only the *keys* differ.
+
+## §5.4′ Sealed payloads (replaces 2.0 §5.4)
+
+The relay envelope (`{type:"to"/"from", box}`) is unchanged. Two keying schemes now
+exist for the inner `box`:
+
+**(a) `ekey` — sealed under STATIC keys** (as in 2.0):
+
+```
+{ "kind":"ekey",
+  "v":   "yaw/2.1",
+  "epk": "<x25519 ephemeral public key, hex (32 bytes)>",
+  "sig": "<ed25519 sig, hex>" }
+```
+
+`sig` is over the exact bytes
+`utf8("yaw/2.1 ekey") || my_id_raw(32) || peer_id_raw(32) || epk_raw(32)`
+(`*_raw = hex_decode`). Binding both ids prevents an `ekey` from being replayed to
+a third party. The recipient verifies `sig` against the sender id and that the
+embedded `peer_id` is *itself*.
+
+**(b) `offer` / `answer` / `candidate` / `bye` — sealed under EPHEMERAL keys:**
+identical JSON to 2.0 §5.4, but the `box` is `crypto_box(…, peer_epk, my_esk)`.
+
+**Which key opens an incoming box?** Determined by ordering, not a plaintext tag
+(so the server learns nothing extra): a peer always sends its `ekey` *before* any
+ephemeral box, and the WebSocket preserves per-sender order. Therefore:
+
+- `kind:"ekey"` → open with **static** keys.
+- any other kind → if you already hold the sender's `epk`, open with **ephemeral**
+  keys; if you do not (sender sent no `ekey`), the sender is a 2.0 peer → open with
+  **static** keys (§6.1). Implementations MAY also try-both (a wrong key fails the
+  Poly1305 tag cleanly) for robustness.
+
+## §6′ Connection establishment (replaces 2.0 §6)
+
+Preconditions as in 2.0 (same `net`, peer id in keyring). Offerer = smaller id.
+
+```
+A = offerer (smaller id)                         B = answerer
+──────────────────────────────                   ──────────────────────────────
+esk_A, epk_A = box_keypair()                     esk_B, epk_B = box_keypair()
+sealStatic(ekey{epk_A,sig}) ──"to B"───────────▶ verify ekey; store epk_A
+store epk_B ◀──────"to A"── sealStatic(ekey{epk_B,sig})
+createOffer; setLocalDescription; gather-complete
+sealEph(offer.sdp) ───"to B"───────────────────▶ verify from∈keyring; setRemoteDescription
+                                                 createAnswer; setLocalDescription; gather-complete
+verify; setRemoteDescription ◀──"to A"── sealEph(answer.sdp)
+        ICE checks (host + srflx) → DTLS → "yaw" DataChannel opens
+        identity-confirm `hello` exactly as in 2.0 §6
+        ── on session close/abandon: WIPE esk ──
+```
+
+- `sealStatic(...)` = 2.0 static-key box; `sealEph(...)` = ephemeral-key box.
+- Both peers send `ekey` first (no offerer/answerer distinction for `ekey`).
+- The offerer sends the `offer` only after it holds `epk_B`; the answerer sends the
+  `answer` only after it has both sent its `ekey` and received the `offer`. Because
+  a sender's `ekey` precedes its ephemeral boxes and the channel is ordered, the
+  recipient always holds the peer's `epk` before any ephemeral box arrives.
+- Everything after the DataChannel opens (the signed `hello`, §8, §9) is **identical
+  to 2.0**.
+
+### §6.1 Backward compatibility (opportunistic FS)
+
+2.1 ↔ 2.0 must interoperate. Rules:
+
+1. A 2.1 peer sends its `ekey`, then starts a short timer (recommended **2 s**).
+2. **2.1 offerer:** if `epk_B` arrives before the timer, send the `offer` with
+   `sealEph`. If the timer fires first (no `ekey` — peer is 2.0), send the `offer`
+   with `sealStatic` and mark the session **non-FS**.
+3. **2.1 answerer:** if an `offer` arrives and you hold `epk_A`, reply `sealEph`.
+   If an `offer` arrives and you do **not** hold `epk_A` (2.0 offerer), reply
+   `sealStatic` and mark the session **non-FS**.
+4. A 2.0 peer ignores the unknown `ekey` kind (2.0 §8: "unknown types ignored") and
+   behaves exactly as 2.0.
+
+A client MAY enforce a **require-FS** policy (refuse / close non-FS sessions);
+otherwise it MUST surface the non-FS status to the user.
+
+## §10′ Reference parameters (additions to 2.0 §10)
+
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Protocol version | `yaw/2.1` (advertised in the `ekey` `v` field) |
+| Ephemeral key | X25519, `crypto_box_keypair()`, per session, `esk` wiped on close |
+| `ekey` sign input | `utf8("yaw/2.1 ekey") \|\| my_id_raw \|\| peer_id_raw \|\| epk_raw` |
+| `ekey` seal | static keys (2.0 scheme) |
+| offer/answer/candidate seal | ephemeral keys `crypto_box(·, peer_epk, my_esk)` |
+| FS-negotiation timeout | 2 s (then fall back to 2.0) |
+
+## Security & compatibility notes
+
+See [YIP-0001 §6](proposals/yip-0001-forward-secret-signaling.md) for the full
+analysis. In short: pure-2.1 sessions are forward-secret (recorded signaling
+unrecoverable after `esk` is wiped, even if long-term keys leak later); mixed 2.1/2.0
+sessions fall back to 2.0 security and are flagged; authentication and the
+malicious-server analysis (2.0 §7) are unchanged.

+### Forward-secret signaling (YAW/2.1)
+
+By default waste-go speaks **YAW/2.1**: before sending an offer each peer generates a fresh
+X25519 keypair (`esk`/`epk`), broadcasts its `epk` in a signed `ekey` message, then seals
+`offer`/`answer`/`candidate` payloads with the *ephemeral* keys. `esk` is zeroed when the
+session ends. Recorded signaling traffic cannot be decrypted even if the long-term Ed25519
+keys later leak.
+
+A 2.0 peer ignores the `ekey` message (unknown type → silently dropped) and the offerer
+falls back to static-key sealing after a 2 s timeout, so **2.1 ↔ 2.0 sessions work** — the
+session just isn't forward-secret. The log line `anchor: 2.0 fallback offer to …` flags this.
